component in circular motion

2010-10-30 7:15 am
why mg is a component of normal reaction in circular motion while normal reaction is a component of mg in inclined plane?

i.e. in circular motion, Rcosθ=mg

in an inclined plane, mgcosθ=R

why?

They are of completely different situations. The angle θ has different representations in the two situations. It represents the angle of incline in the inclined plane case, but represents the angle makes with the vertical in the circular motion case.

DO NOT REMEMBER FORMULAE BLINDLY.
